What Is A Flood Elevation Survey?

There are a few different aspects of a flood elevation survey. These aspects include:​
 

• elevation above mean sea level taken at building corners

• sidewalks

• building first floor and lowest floor

• location of the building (longitude and latitude) 

• flood zone designation
   

These are aspects all going into receiving a FEMA flood elevation certificate. It is important that buildings in dangerous areas have proper certification. This way they can better combat dangerous weather circumstances should they arise.
 

FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate Importance​

The FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate is an important aspect of the National Flood Insurance Program. This certificate is used to certify buildings located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA). The certificate also determines the flood insurance premium rate for the buildings. And it is used to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment. Ultimately, a flood elevation certificate gauges areas that are more prone to flooding than others. They don’t always have to be extremely hazardous, because there are areas of minimal flooding that fit into the spectrum, too. Only a licensed land surveyor, engineer, or architect can complete a FEMA flood elevation certificate. Luckily for you, that is us!
